Eosinophilic folliculitis occurring after bone marrow autograft in a patient with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Abstract

Eosinophilic pustular folliculitis is a rare disorder previously reported predominantly in Japanese people who are otherwise healthy. Recently, the disorder has been noted in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome, as has eosinophilic folliculitis, a similar but distinct entity. The authors report a patient with eosinophilic folliculitis who was immunocompromised after high dose chemotherapy and bone marrow autograft for treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
